and Thibodeaux counters with a nice body kick.
Thibodeaux feints a jab and as Oliveira dips his head, Thibodeaux unleashes a brutal head kick that catches Oliveira right on the jaw! Timbeeer! Oliveira falls backwards in slow motion, only propped up by the cage! Thibodeaux smiles a psychotic smile as he stares down his unconscious opponent. That is a scary man.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:39 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Smif Thibodeaux! |
